Made from a veritable confetti of hand gathered spring blooms gathered across the West Texas hillsides and prairies, this tea embodies every ounce of the subtle beauty and steady hope that the high desert landscape has to offer. We love it room temperature or iced and recommend eating the flowers whole if you so please. The translucent White Primroses make for an especially succulent treat when rehydrated. This tea is cooling and moistening, soothing to parched tissues, and pleasantly relaxing. Simply place one heaping tablespoon of flowers in a sixteen ounce mason jar, cover with hot water, place lid on jar and infuse for thirty minutes or until cooled to room temperature.

Chaparral, Gobernadora, Creosote. This potent medicinal shrub characterizes the landscape of Southern New Mexico. Its deep green expanse is in stark contrast to the endless sky, and stretches like the Ocean as far as the eye can see. As you drive down desolate highway and country back roads, it is the ancient and thrumming presence of Chaparral that calls forth the precious solitude and stark beauty offered only by the desert. Its resinous leaves hold the scent and memory of the soaking rains of many thousands seasons past. The strange, lovely, and distinctive aroma is it yields is reminiscent of petrichor and gathering clouds; of a landscape longing to drink deep of the Sky. Each passing impression of this oil, will transport you to the desert of your dreams, the inner arid regions of your Being, a place of deep awakening, heightened psychic awareness, and unexpected resilience.

A profound antiseptic, Chaparral Oil is also an indispensable first aid ally. It helps to prevent infections in wounds, soothes bites and stings, as well as bringing sweet relief to eczema, psoriasis, and fungal infections of both the skin and the scalp. It is one of our favorite oils to bring along on any Summer road trip or wildcrafting adventure for after-sun skincare and it even makes a fantastic spot treatment for acne, boils, and other eruptive skin conditions. The unequaled anti-oxidant properties of of this ancient desert plant help to protect from and repair free radical damage, keeping skin healthy, glowing, and resilient even in the harshest of environs. We recommend adding a couple dropperfuls to a hot bath, along with a piece of petrified wood for a grounding and distinctive therapeutic experience. Do note though, the scent of Chaparral is quite strong and may be a bit too intense for many to use as a daily body oil. We, however, desert folk at heart, love it without apology or qualification.

Made With // Ethically Wildcrafted Chaparral, Organic Olive Oil

Prickly Poppy Flower Essence helps us to rest after periods of extended expenditure of energy, whether physical or emotional. It is an ally for decompressing and creating space to simply be, even when there is still much to be done. When overwork has caused the world to appear colorless and things you once enjoyed seem tiresome, it is only deep rest that can return beauty and magic to our worlds. Prickly Poppy Flower Essence, taken over time, helps to re-sensitize the nervous system and restore balance to our lives when it comes to finding time for both work and play. It teaches us that there will always be more to do, and that unless we choose pleasure, choose rest, choose connection, that they will not be ours to enjoy. Recommended in doses of four drops, four times daily – taken once upon waking, once upon retiring, and at two other times throughout the day which are agreeable. Add ten drops to a bath for a truly immersive experience.
